  2. Relevance of Law (I) A building or infrastructure project can only be successful if (at least) three kinds of conditions have been met: • Technical conditions → technical soundness • Financial conditions → financial feasibility • Legal conditions → legal admissibility (public law) and correct contracting (private law)

  3. Relevance of Law (II) • Preliminary stages, prior to construction, take a lot of time (even more than actual construction of the project) • Many problems of a legal nature occur during preliminary stages (air quality directives, habitat protection, procurement) and during construction (claims)

  4. General The planning and construction of buildings and infrastructure is surrounded by many issues of legal nature: • Procurement and tender • Contracts • Permits The course is developed for students to get a better understanding of Construction Law because of their involvement on a management level where legal aspects have become a part of daily life

  5. Educational Goals • Recognize relevant legal aspects and • Anticipate to legal aspects during the construction process • Estimate the weight and complexity of these aspects • Develop ideas to deal with these aspects and • Provide solutions for problems or conflicts resulting from these aspects • Understand options and solutions presented by legal experts
